Obsolete Notes
Alabama
1 Athens, Alabama. Limestone County. 1862. 50 Cents.
Fine. (Rosene 13-2) One of the few notes we have ever seen
from this county issuer. Previously of the Walter B. Jones
Collection. This note has plus print quality with dark inks
and bright paper for the grade. Singed by Peterson Tanner.
Some internal splits are found in the thin paper and a hinge
remnant is located on the back at right. Still a note with
good eye appeal and rarity going for it. R-7 in the Alabama
reference.

Very Fine. Tape Repair. (Rosene 129-4) Pessou & Simon,

green TWO protector. A rare issue and a denomination
we have not previously entertained. This example is bright
with even circulation and good color. A small tape repair
is seen on back, top left of center. Signed by WB. Fariss but
unnumbered. R-7 in Rosene. A great Alabama piece.
Est. $600-$800

11 New Haven, Connecticut. New Haven Bank. March 24,
1856. $1 VG to Fine. (CT-290 Unlisted). L.S. Punderson,
Print, New Haven / Toppan, Carpenter, Casilear & Co., New
York & Phila. Complete ochre tint with white ONE protector.
Top center. Apostle Eliot preaching to the Indians. Lower
left, Eirst Sabbath at Quinnipiack. This historical scene is
also found on the famous 1838 New Haven medal from dies
by Charles Cushing Wright. Lower right, skep-type beehive
and flowers. Highly important anti-counterfeiting style with
yellow overprint similar to the Seropyan patent. This bank
commissioned Punderson to add a yellow overprint to its
notes as part of a security system against counterfeiting by
photography.
The New Haven Bank bid fair to become a very early entry
in American banking, following an organization meeting
held on Eebruary 16, 1792, and the granting of a charter
in October of the same year, for at a capital of $100,000.
However, by early 1795 it had not yet gone into business.
By December 5, 1795, subscriptions had been received for
$80,000, and some business was conducted, although the
official opening date was not until Eebruary 12, 1796. The
Einancial Register, November 8, 1837, reported that the
bank had $63,000 worth of bills in circulation. At the time,
this and most other banks had suspended specie (gold and
silver coins) payments. The New Haven Bank resumed in
January 1838, being among the first banks to do so.
In 1847 a contretemps arose when it was learned by the
Suffolk Bank, Boston, redemption agency for most notes
of New England banks, that original plates had been used
to produce unauthorized $2, $5, and $10 bills of the New
Haven Bank. The Suffolk Bank ceased trading in the notes
for a time, while a Wall Street firm. Carpenter & Vermilye,
stepped into the breach and, after careful inspection,
redeemed all good notes at standard rates. However, more
was learned later, and in December 1849, Bankers Magazine
published a report stating that in actuality counterfeit plates
had been made, and that similar false notes had been issued
for the New Haven County Bank at New Haven. There was
great commotion, especially in the summer of 1849 when
more fake notes of the New Haven Bank appeared. Not long
afterward, William E. Brockway (one of the most prominent
figures in the annals of counterfeiting in America) and
associates were behind the project, which also involved bills
of other banks.
In the 1850s the New Haven Bank participated in
the testing of certain printing techniques said to deter
counterfeiting, this in an era in which a half dozen or more
“systems” were devised for such, including the Seropyan
patent discussed above. On June 6, 1865, the New Haven
Bank converted to become the National New Haven Bank.
Est. $800-$1000

A Special Collection of Notes from the Banks of the State of Maine
This begins a very nice selection of notes related to Maine, from the early District of Maine notes (under
Massachusetts), after statehood was accomplished in March 1820, and continuing through the 1860s. The offering
is a collectors’ sale, so to speak— not laden with extreme rarities but, instead, hosting many attractive and quite
affordable notes. This will give you an excellent start on a collection of one of the most interesting specialties
among state notes.
Until the Maine District of Massachusetts became the State of Maine in March 1820, it was included as part
of the Bay State. The two areas were separated by 17 miles of New Hampshire land along the seacoast. Banking
began in the Maine District in the 1 790s, with such bills containing an imprint of Massachusetts with no mention
of Maine. Today, these bills are collected avidly by specialists of Maine notes as well as by those interested in
Massachusetts issues. Dozens of different institutions circulated notes of various denominations, mostly $1, $2,
$3, $5, $10, and $20, but with some odd values and higher denominations as well. Many if not most of the earlier
issues are of the Perkins Patent Stereotype Steel Plate type, also familiar in certain other states, most notably New
Hampshire and Vermont. Printed by Jacob Perkins ofNewburyport, Massachusetts, these were said to have been
essentially counterfeiting proof. However, that did not prove to be the case, and many fraudulent issues were
made.
Beginning in a large way in the 1 830s, expanding in the 1 840s, scenic motifs became standard. Security printing
patents and technology amplified immensely in the 1850’s with these later issues of the 1850s and early 1860s
being usually quite colorful from various imprints. The following selection presents an excellent opportunity to
build a basic collection of institutions from this important state.
34 Augusta, Maine. Citizens Bank. Jan. 27, 1841. $50. About
Uncirculated. (ME-20, G30). Terry, Pelton & Co., Boston
& Prov. Top center, seated Hebe pouring out libation for
standing eagle, Aetos Dios. Left, Liberty supporting heraldic
shield. Right, farmer holding sheaf. Slug-plate type with
provision for insertion of three slugs. A very handsome
note, signed and ink dated. The Citizens Bank was chartered
on January 26, 1833, with an authorized capital of $60,000.
By 1840 business was very slow at the Citizens Bank: loans
were small, very little currency was in circulation, and the
directors considered liquidating it. On November 25, S.G.
Langdon offered to buy the bank outright at $85 per share
cash or, at the option of the shareholder, an equivalent
amount of securities held by the bank. The terms were
attractive, and the transfer was made on January 23, 1841.
Then commenced an issue of fraudulent notes accounting
for most in existence today. These are seen on occasion, as
here, but are not common.

examples of this note are well circulated. This is one of the
finest we have seen. The Grocers Bank was chartered in 1854
with an authorized capital of $75,000. The doors opened in
autumn of that year. The bank ran into difficulties in 1856
and was enjoined by the Maine Legislature from doing
business. In November 1857, it went into the hands of
receivers, after which it was liquidated.

The Norombega Bank was chartered in 1857 with
an authorized capital of $100,000. In December 1858, it
was placed in the hands of receivers, at which time about
$70,000 worth of bills was in circulation. A great scandal
then erupted on January 4, 1860, when it was learned that
Maine state treasurer B.D. Peck had been mingling state
funds with his own and loaning large sums of money to
various enterprises, including timbering. The bank closed.
Its bills were redeemed at par by the Veazie Bank, with
sufficient success that by January 1, 1863, only an estimated
$750 worth remained in circulation. Note: Norumbega (as
usually spelled) was an Indian chief. Norombega is a variant.
Est. $400-$600
42 Bangor, Maine. Norombega Bank. July 4, 1857. $3. Very

16, 1832 with an authorized capital of $50,000. A report
dated October 4, 1845, notes that at that time $50,219 worth
of bills was in circulation. This bank was liquidated in 1857,
not directly by the panic of that year, but because it had been
in weakened circumstances for several years earlier. At the
time of its closing, William D. SeweU was president and D.N.
Magoun was cashier, and the capital was stated as $100,000.

from 1854 to 1856 as published in the Maine Register. In
January 1860, bills in circulation totaled $34,405; by January

the bank wound down its business.

Bank.
The Treasury Department allowed the bank to continue
using the bills of the state-chartered bank in commerce until
March 28, 1866, after which they could no longer be paid
out. Eurther activities were limited to redeeming the bills at
face value, this being done at the National Bank office. Then
this, per a contemporary account:
“This bank was entered and robbed on the 21st of June,
1866, and among other assets taken, was a package of $1,700
of the bills of the bank. These bills have since found their
way back, and have been re-redeemed. The liability of this

Hatch & Edson, New York / New England Bank Note Co., Boston. Red TWO protector. Top center, Santa Claus with eight reindeer

here has the sleigh pulled by two rows of four deer. Right end, tranquil scene of cattle, sheep, pigs, and a goat, all grazing and
resting together, with farm house in distance.
The popularity of Santa Claus notes seems to have no limits. Roger H. Durand wrote the definitive book on the variations of
this motif.
The Maine bank was chartered on April 14, 1857, authorized capital $75,000, without anticipation that storm clouds would be
rising in the economy by August. By 1858 the capital was reduced to just $27,500. The institution remained in business, raised its
capital to $50,000, and closed in 1864 when its directors and stockholders voted to reorganize and reincorporate to become the
Eirst National Bank of Brunswick.

67 China, Maine. Canton Bank. Oct. 1, 1855. $1. Very Good.
(ME-260 G2a). Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson, New York
/ New England Bank Note Co., Boston. Red ONE protector.
Top center. Justice and Liberty supporting state arms. Lower
left, George Washington. Lower right, putto, dolphin, and
scallop shell.
The Canton Bank was chartered in 1855 with an
authorized capital of $50,000. It was the unofficial successor
of the China Bank in the same town, which had garnered
much criticism as it was mostly owned by out-of-state
interests. The stock was mostly sold in small lots to local
and regional buyers, an ideal situation. It opened its doors
in South China on September 1, 1855. The cashier of the
defunct China Bank took the same position with the new
institution.
Records indicated that on September 20, 1856, with
profits on hand of $2,924.27, a dividend of 8 per cent,
amounting to $4,000 was declared. It was stated s that bills
to the amount of $103,000 had been received from the
engravers. $80,000 had been signed and issued, of which
number $161 had been destroyed, leaving $78,839 in the
vault or in circulation. However, the records were false, more
bills had been issued than had been stated, and there were
other problems. Receivers were appointed on November 17
of the same year. There was over $40,000 in debt, and its bills
soon depreciated to become worthless. In its next report the
Bank Commissioners stated that “the Canton Bank was a
private speculation and was worse than a failure.”
Est. $200-$300

Commerce holding caduceus, scales, and fasces next to
heraldic arms. Lower right, large ornate numeral 5 with five

This bank was chartered in 1851 with an authorized
capital of $50,000. Its doors opened on August 3, 1852. In
1854 its capital was increased to $125,000. Things went
wrong, far wrong. The Bank Commission reported in 1855,
“It has been in an embarrassed condition and the officers
have struggled manfully to sustain its credit and retrieve
its affairs. It resumed in January last.” Most bills were
redeemed at face value— surprising in the face of events. The
stockholders lost their equity.
Banking was never easy in Maine — far away from major
financial centers and with an economy based on agriculture
and lumbering.

Commission reported that no records had been kept of the
meetings of directors or stockholders, and that all business
was conducted by the cashier. The charter expired in 1847
and was not renewed. No matter, the bank kept issuing bills
as late as 1849! In 1850 it closed up, remarkably without any
loss to the public.

The style is exceptional. Truly one of the great scrip note
designs from the War of 1812 era using techniques of earlier
colonial era copperplate engraving. Kittery Point of course
is in present day Maine, but then in Massachusetts. We will
classify this as Maine in this sale. Amazingly, two of these
were discovered within a small trove fresh banknotes, saved
for decades, and we offer both here. The printing clarity is
superior on this first example. However, both are beauties.
Conservatively estimated for what they are. Well above high

Atlantic Bank was incorporated in 1850 with an authorized

very little banking business was done after that time. Annual
Report of the Secretary of the Treasury on the Condition of
Banks, 1863: “The Act of March 3, 1862, extends the time
for closing the affairs of the Atlantic Bank, (the charter of
which was surrendered in February, 1860), two years from
February 4, 1862. At the time of making our annual report
in 1861, less than $200 of the bills were in circulation, and
to redeem these, funds were deposited at the International
Bank, in Portland. The cashier of the latter Bank informs us
that he had redeemed within the past year only eight dollars
of the Atlantic Bank bills. The balance of the circulation is
doubtless lost, past recovery, and the affairs of the institution
may be considered as closed, so far as the circulation is
concerned.”Proof notes from this bank are especially ornate

The Mousam River Bank was chartered on March 22,
1854, with an authorized capital of $50,000. Twenty- three
incorporators signed the petition, and the bank commenced
business on August 16, 1854. Nearly all of the capital was
subscribed for by Massachusetts interests with very little
sold locally or regionally and loans were made mostly to
Massachusetts borrowers. This aroused the interest of the
Legislature, and an injunction was placed on the bank on
September 22, 1854, by Judge John Shepley The Ormsby
notes were not likely made by Ormsby himself or for the
bank, but by fraudsters who obtained and modified genuine
Ormsby plates. To tell the full story of this bank would take

that span and appreciate some seemingly scarce types from the ‘quantity proof issuers” such as this. Well designed and underrated.

Temporary Series $5 Note
193 Roxboro, North Carolina. Bank of Roxboro. 1861.
$5. Very Good. Contemporaneously Backed. (NC-
70 G4a). No imprint. Printed on very thin white bond
paper. Center, bold type V, title half shaded curved
above. Left end, standing Agriculture in canopy copied
from RWH. Right end, fancy filigree cartouche with
text ‘A TEMPORARY ISSUE UNTIL/PLATE CAN
BE HAD”. Fully signed and emitted. Handwritten
date December 18, 1861. The Haxby Plate Note.
Might be the rarest of the rare of all North Carolina
Haxby listed banknote types. Though not engraved,
its purpose could be clearer as the obligation at right
says so. The notes were withdrawn and replaced by
the Leggett, Keatinge & Ball engraved plate notes (NC
-70 G2a) as seen next. Haxby should have switched the
position of the notes, but may have thought this was
an emergency issue made later when the other notes
wore out (a more common situation in the South).
Though we have not seen the note, we err on the side
of not declaring this Unique as written in the Raleigh
Collection Sale in September, 2003. This is that note,
lot 1508, and it brought a whopping $8,625.00 on its
$1500-$3000 estimate. Herb and Martha Schingoethe
did not have one. The backing is white blue ruled
paper and appears contemporary. The body of note is
solid due to this, but we note a central juncture hole,
some nicks and small paper chips off the backing. The
technical grade is meaningless for the collector who
needs this note. Worth what it takes.

194 Roxboro, North Carolina. Bank of Roxboro. 1862.
$5. Very Fine. (NC-70 G2a). Leggett, Keatinge & Ball,
Richmond, VA. Ochre protector FIVE FIVE across the
signature blocks. Top center, seated Liberty with shield.
Left end, framed Washington portrait. Right end, standing
Lafayette, holding hat. Base, dog and safe. An elite title and
type from the state. This has always been well regarded by all
obsolete note collectors. The dies used by LKB in Richmond
are all copied from Rawdon, Wright, & Hatch styles from
the 1830s- 1840s. This was the final plate awaited for use and
the notes replaced the obviously recalled and redeemed $5
G4a notes. The color protector is toned as usual. We do not
recall seeing an especially vibrant example of this note and
condition wise it certainly falls in the middle to superior
part of the census. We believe it fits in as a Rarity-6 note (6-
10 known) or at worst, a high Rarity- 5. However, collectors

fortunate to own such treasures, do not part with them

195 Salisbury, North Carolina. Treasurer, Thespian Society

North Carolina. 1816. 50 Cents. Fine Plus. (Haxby-Not

style bill of this imprint. Top center, oval die FIFTY CENTS.
Ornate pattern ends. Signed and hand dated. Thought,
arguably a scrip, the style suggest very closely related to the
branch payable notes for the title. Extremely rare and first

sold in the 2003 Raleigh Collection sale. All there with extra

196 Salisbury, North Carolina. No Date (ca.1807-1811).
"Extract from the Minutes” Broadside for "Rules for
the Government of the Agency-Office of the Bank of
Cape-Fear at Salisbury”. Very Fine. Printed document on
watermarked "G R” laid paper. Uniface. 20.0cm by 31.5cm.
Deeply embossed block printing. Titles at top. An extract
from the complete rules as applied to this branch for the
issuance of bonds, discount rates to be applied and method
and dates of redemption. There was no grace for bonds due
on Sunday holidays or fast days-pay a day early Bottom,
printed for and emitted by "John Hogg, Cashier, B.C.F.”
Extremely rare and historic North Carolina banking piece.
John Hogg was the first cashier for the famous and influential
bank, essentially acting as a State Bank. The Salisbury
Branch was early but went on hiatus commencing in 1814
and reopened in 1840. As such, this dates the document very
early based on content and paper usage (note the G(eorgius)
R{ex) remainder paper used. First we have seen. Some damp
staining at the upper left. Edge tear, chip of left center edge
and rough upper right corner. Essential document in a
collection of Bank of Cape Fear notes.

201 Wilmington, North Carolina. Bank of Cape Fear.
1805. $1. Net Fine. (NC90 G12). Harrison fc. Philad.
Printed on frail paper. Titles and obligations across.
Left end, shaded lathe with diamond cartouche with
ONE, imprint to the inside border. Top, two oval 1
dies. Serial number cartouche, top center. A slight
variant, earlier plate without lower left ONE shaded
die. However Genuine and fully issued, No.633[?],
hand dated 1805 and signed by John Hogg as cashier
and Geo. Hooper as first president of the bank.
Extremely rare and one of the earliest notes from the
State, making this one of the most important pieces
in the Gray Collection. Unknown to Roy Pennell and
not in his foundational work on the North Carolina
obsolete note series. Very much a Rarity-7 note and
likely in the most advanced collections. Dated two
years earlier than the Raleigh Collection example
sold in 2003 (lot 1544) that sold for $1,495.00.
Glorious note overall. A bottom edge tear is taped
with white archival stripping, otherwise quite solid.
Some petty foxing patches. A museum obsolete note
of the highest caliber. Worthy of the next advanced
numismatists care and appreciation.

contemporary fakes you will encounter. Leney & Rollinson
engraved striking notes with mesmerizing lathe ends. At the
left, they did not even center the ‘THREE”. Little wear, but
acidic ink knocked out the lower right piece in the signature
and it has been very professionally attached again leaving
the note facing up beautifully. The genuine is unknown to

$50. Contemporary Counterfeit. Fine. (NC-90 C146).
False imprint of Murray, Draper, Fairman & Co. Top center,
seated navigation, town and shoreline behind. Ornate
pattern ends. Plate F. Rare type and unknown as a genuine
(the MDF proofs not in the ABN 1990 Sale, the earliest were
the FDU series). The 2003 Raleigh Collection note was also
a NC-90 C146, but not catalogued as so. It was a different
plate style, but still a contemporary imitation. The MDF
lathe end panels are virtually impossible to copy well and we
are aware of only one bank and series where the fraudsters
nearly pulled it off (a fake $100 for the Bank of Pennsylvania
which may have been an inside job that obtained dies at
MDF). This is desirable and interesting. Note the internal
fold in void as printed. Never a good move when you are
trying to pass a false note. This should be a Rarity-6 (6-10
known) and pleasant. A sealed tear, otherwise well printed
and margined.

Carolina and very pleasing. Low no. 19. The note shows a
small mount mark on the back. Once wet pressed, but the
close margins do not dive in and the note still maintains
good color contrast with the black printing. This is well

Choice Uncirculated
T-5 $100
307 T-5. 1861. $100. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64.
No. 5712, Plate B. PF-1. The first of the Richmond
notes issued after the relocation of the Confederate
capital, these high quality $100s were produced by
the Southern Bank Note Company in New Orleans
which was the southern operating branch of the
American Bank Note Company. This example comes
fully framed with a vibrant green overprint and crisp,
creamy white paper.
Est. $3000-$4000
308 T-5. 1861. $100. PMG Choice Fine 15 Net. Stains. No.
3162, Plate B. A charming, evenly circulated T-5 which
retains good color and eye appeal. The stains mentioned by
the grading service are pretty minor and do little to distract
from the overall aesthetics. Interestingly, this note bears a
manuscript issued endorsement from a Major and AQM
we have not seen on this type before. Unfortunately, our
research has been unable to shed light on who this officer
was leaving a nice opportunity to tonight s successful bidder
for further research.
Est. $600-$800
309 T-7. Confederate Currency. 1861 $100. Very Fine. A rare
type that seldom is offered in any state of preservation.
Rare in higher grades and typically offered in Fine states or
more seldom these Very Fine grades. The note shows with
some minor well executed restorations which we mention
for complete accuracy. A look at the PMG population
report shows only a single piece has graded in the entire
Uncirculated range and PCGS shows just for in the 60 and
above grade range.
Est. $700-$900
310 T-9. 1861. $20. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64. No. 34402,
Plate D. PF- 14. A fully framed and exceptionally well printed
Hoyer & Ludwig produced $20. This example boasts bright
paper and excellent penned signatures. It would seem that
the stamped “P” at lower right of center, possibly a Treasury
mark, has cost the note its EPQ designation and with that
the possibility of a Gem grade. Still this is a pristine example
of the type.
Est. $500-$700
311 T-13. 1861. $100. PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 Net.
Minor Ink Burn. No. 10347, Plate AC. PF-3, State II.
A fully framed and crisp example of this early Hoyer &
Ludwig produced $100. This example retains bold inks and
vivid detail. The minor ink burn mentioned by the grading
service is very minor indeed, only a spec in the “for Treasr”
signature.

Net. Signature Ink Bleed Through. No. 3660, Plate C. PF-
2. Only the slightest signs of handling are noticed on this
crisp 1861 $50. This example is well cut with full frame
lines and is free of the ink erosion commonly encountered
on this type. Surprisingly, the grading service has felt it
necessary to “net” this piece for ink bleed through of the
penned signatures even though the paper remains wholly
undamaged. This type of ink effect is seen on many of the
1861 Hoyer & Ludwig notes.
Est. $200-$300

30. No. 21432. Plate AZ. PF-10. A scarce 1861 dated 2nd

margined note is near the top of the condition census for
the variety. It is assigned an R-10 rarity rating in Collecting
Confederate Paper Money by Pierre Fricke. Cut cancelled.
Est. $600-$800
314 T-17. Confederate Currency. 1861 $20 PMG Very Fine 20
Net “Split”. No. 35805. Plate A. PF-1. Moderate circulation
is observed on this Hoyer & Ludwig produced $20 which
retains bold green color in the underprint. Three full frame
lines are present and the bottom edge is just trimmed a
tough into the design at left. The split mentioned by the
grading service is difficult to detect but comes off of the
right cut cancel.
Est. $500-$700
315 T-19. 1861. $20. PMG Very Fine 25 Net. Foreign Substance.
No. 13652, Plate A. This is a wonderful example of this rare
Southern Bank Note Company produced Twenty. The burnt
orange overprint remains strong and the design elements
are boldly inked in vivid detail. This example is decently
framed with wholesome paper and free of repairs often
seen on many notes of this type. The grading service has
“netted” the note for “foreign substance” which we assume
is for a small area of residue picked up on the back bottom
right corner of the note during its time in circulation. The
decision to hold such a trifling feature of a note in this grade
range is puzzling. We are confident discerning collectors
will appreciate the unabashed quality of this note tonight.

Interestingly, this is an error note with a noticeable upward
shift on the right side of the black printed design elements
in relation to the green printed design elements. A pleasing
uncancelled example.

318 T-21. 1861 $20 PMG Very Fine 30. (PF-6) An altogether

brilliant green inks at left and right and roman numeral
“XX” counters. Bold manuscript details are found and the
cross cut cancels are not as distracting as most typically are.
Est. $400-$600
319 T-21. 1861. $20. Very Fine. Tears. No. 16877, Plate W. A
mid-grade 1861 $20 which features the portrait of CSA Vice
President Alexander Stephens. This note has good color and
strong signatures. Small tears are found at top right of center.
There is also an inscription on the back which reads: “Best

320 T-22. Confederate Currency. 1861 $10 PCGS Very Fine
25. No. 317. Plate C. PF-2. A very pleasing “Indian Family”
$10 which still retains great reddish orange color to the

variety from plate C. Plate C notes were printed along with
T-15, T-19, and T-31 C.

321 T-23. Confederate Currency. 1861 $10 PCGS Very Fine 20
Apparent “Small Edge Splits and Tears; Tape”. No. 3773.
Plate A. PF-1. A scarce Leggett, Keating & Ball $10 product
which was modeled after $10 notes from the Mechanics
Savings Bank of Savannah, GA. This mid-grade example
still retains boldly inked design elements and while the
overprint has faded a bit, enough of the red tint remains to
be fully legible. The note retains a decent overall appearance
even with the issues mentioned on the holder.
Est. $1250-$1750
322 T-24. 1861. $10. PCGS Choice About New 55 PPQ. No. 55271,
Plate J. PF-12. One of the highest graded T-24s we have ever
had the privilege to offer. This 1861 Ten is well cut with strong
color and excellent paper. This is the variety with CSA block
watermarked paper and the imprint of Keating & Ball; being
printed after Leggetts departure from the firm. A fantastically
pleasing example with the appearance of a fuUy New note.
Est. $2000-$3000
Rare PF-4 T-24,
Tied for Finest Known
323 T-24. Confederate Currency. 1861 $10 PMG Very Fine 30.
No. 19393. Plate H. PF-4. This is one of the great rarities for
variety collectors. The Leggett, Keating & Ball T-24 printed
on CSA block watermarked paper. It is believed that a Union
blockade captured a shipment of CSA block watermark paper
intended for these notes creating this rare variety. Furthermore,
Leggett left the business early in the printing of these notes
making varieties with this imprint scarcer than later issues.
This example is bright and only moderately circulated. The
reddish orange overprint remains vibrant and free of oxidation.
Confederate currency expert Pierre Fricke confirms that this
example is at least tied for finest known of the variety.

a rare Ten printed by Leggett, Keating, & Ball on paper

despite the comments from the grading service. This variety
is assigned an R-10 rarity rating in the Fricke reference. Cut

327 T-33. 1861 $5. PCGS Very Fine 35 PPQ. No. 98, Plate K.
PF-6, State II. An exceptional example of this prohibitively
rare variety which is listed as “speculative” in the Fricke
reference. This gorgeous 1861 $5 puts an end to any
speculation as it is clearly printed on paper watermarked
“FIVE” and engraved with “VA” completely missing from
the Leggett, Keatinge & Ball imprint. While the watermark
variety is well known and nothing rare in and off itself it is
the Plate State II with “VA” missing that makes this fantastic
rarity. The only recorded example in the census, referred to
in the book as speculative, is a cut cancelled Fine. The present
example is far nicer, uncancelled and nearly Extremely Fine
with bright paper, vibrant green inks and flawless quality.
This is a trophy note for the true Confederate specialist.

5996, Plate Ah. An interesting “straight steam” Train issued
Sept. 2, 1862 with a Charleston, SC postmark. This example
bears an endorsement on the back left end by J.E. Morgan.
Research indicates Morgan was a Third Lieutenant in
company K of the 24th South Carolina Infantry Regiment
known as Gist s Brigade. The 24th was tasked with defending
the Charleston harbor until about mid- 1863 when they were
moved to Mississippi. This example also has two interest

on face and back.

EPQ. No. 34713, Plate W. PF-2. This type is notoriously
difficult to find in nice Very Fine or better and even more
so in grades approaching Uncirculated. The handsome note
presently offered is not only among the nicest examples we
have ever been able to handle but is also the second highest
PMG graded T-25. The note is fully framed with dark inks
and bright paper and earned the coveted EPQ qualifier from
PMG. There is a small gutter fold in the upper middle area
of the face. This variety is printed on paper watermarked

1861 $10 with fine lace underprint. This variety comes on

color are characteristics of this note which earned the EPQ
designation from PMG.

Galveston, TX. Mr. Sorely, a Scottish immigrant, was a
prominent business owner in Galveston who was greatly
involved in the towns workings. According to the McNeil
reference he was also responsible for having treasury notes
counter-stamped by the Trans-Mississippi Department. The

are fairly minor.

Plate Ab. A bright and crisp diffused steam Train Note issued
by John Boston, Collector in the Confederate Treasury
Office in Savannah in September 1862. It was then again
paid out in December by Commissary Agent C.R Stubbs.
This note is just two serial numbers away from the McNeil
plate note shown on page 229 of his reference. We assume
the retouching is to the ink burn mentioned by the grading

was Assistant Treasurer of the CSA. He was first in New
Orleans, where he was superintendent of the New Orleans
Mint before the war, then moved to Mobile, Alabama before
heading to Jackson. Also worthy of note, this example has
two hammered cut cancels which are rarely found on these
issues. The grading service notes an internal tear which is

333 T-40. 1862. $100. PMG About Uncirculated 50. No. 66737,
Plate Aa. This is an interesting piece first issued from the
Richmond Treasury Office Jan. 23, 1863 and then issued
again via military manuscript by George Dashiell Feb. 12,
1863. Dashiell was a Captain and Quarter Master in the
14th Field Battery, Texas Light Artillery, which was known
as “Dashielfs Company.” It is believed that the unit served in
the Trans-Mississippi Department. This belief is reinforced
on this note by the Montgomery interest paid stamp dated to
Jan. 1, 1864. Also worth note, both stamps are horizontally
oriented on this piece which is rather uncommon. A choice
example of the issuer displaying just light circulation and a
boldly inked manuscript.

Rare Alex W. Vick Issued T-41
338 T-41. Confederate Currency. 1862. $100. About
Uncirculated. No. 123275. Plate X. This is a rare and fantastic
military issued hoer. Alex W. Vick was a Tennessean and at
the time of this notes issuing on March 24, 1863 he was a
Major and Quartermaster to Brigadier General Henry Heth
which made up part of the larger division of Major General
A.P. Hill. Heths men took part in the Battle of Gettysburg in
July of 1863. The penned inscription is bold and perfectly
legible. Adding to the appeal of the note is an ink stamp
on the back from old-time Confederate note dealer J.H.
Childrey who conducted business from his office at 1722
Main St. in Richmond, VA. In the 2014 edition of Collecting
Confederate Paper Money author Pierre Fricke gives Vick
a rarity rating of 15, indicating just a single note known.
The McNeil reference pictures a different note which was
the only previous example known for this issuer. That piece
is believed to be off the market in a long term collection.
To our knowledge this is the first public offering from this
military issuer.

April 16, 1863. Wickham was originally assigned to the staff
of General Albert Sidney Johnston. After Johnstons at the
Battle of Shiloh in April of 1862 Wickham served on the
staff of General Benjamin F. Cheatham. He was promoted
to Paymaster in 1864. This well embossed note displays a
well inked red manuscript along with a light Montgomery
interest paid stamp and a bold interest paid stamp from
Columbus, MS.

interesting Hoer that was paid out by Captain and Asst.
Quartermaster William E. Duncan March 17, 1863. Duncan
was a member of the Sumter Artillery, 11th Bettalion,
Georgia Volunteers. Adding to the appeal of this military
endorsed $ 100 is the fact that it is on Whatman watermarked
paper. Fricke gives Duncan an R-12 rarity rating (6-10
known) in his latest book. The stains aren’t too bad and are
mostly at the bottom edge.

Whatman watermarked 1862 $50. This example is well cut
and uncancelled. The watermark is fairly bold with the W
of “Whatman” easily found just to the right of the top left
counter. The Fricke reference gives this variety a R-12-h
rarity rating indicating likely less than 10 known. The

falling into VF. This note likely sits as second or third finest
extant. The minor rust mentioned by the grading service

in any Uncirculated state of preservation. This is proven when compared to the 1901 Series “Bison” notes which were available in
several signature combinations. PMG has graded a scant 52 notes of this “Poker Chip” design type in Uncirculated levels which is
a paltry amount compared to the 240 1901 $10 notes PMG has graded in that same range. The note is found with a familiar central
portrait vignette of Andrew Jackson and shows a scalloped red treasury seal and roman numeral “X” at left and right respectively.
This example provides lovely contrast to the fresh paper stock and aforementioned overprints easily discerned embossing as well.
A popular back design cements the nickname “Poker Chip” with circular lathe work housing “10” numerals at left and right that
resemble the monetary mediums of casinos. Certainly a near Gem example as the grade suggests with just a tight lower left margin

6044 Bangor, Maine. Exchange Bank. Jany. 6, 1851. $2. Very
Good, repaired. (ME-65 G4). Toppan, Carpenter, Casilear
& Co., New York & Phila. Top, wild horse startled by
locomotive. Left. Three women and anchor. Right, seated
woman with telescope. The Exchange Bank was chartered
on July 18, 1850, with an authorized capital of $50,000.
An injunction was granted against the Exchange Bank of
Bangor in 1856. In time it passed into the hands of receivers.
Bills of the Exchange Bank are very rare today. Offerings on
the market are infrequent. Known denominations are $1,
$2, $3, $5, and $10, although that higher values were made.
From the Bangor Courier, October 16: “Great
Conflagration of Rags — The affairs of the Exchange Bank, of
this city, were finally wound up yesterday, by the Receivers,
who closed up the books, and made a grand bonfire of
$20,000 of the bills of the bank. They have paid dollar
for dollar of the public indebtedness of the bank which
has been presented within the time allowed by law. We
understand there is a large amount of the bills ($25,000) still
in circulation somewhere at the West. If it had been sent
in, a large dividend would have been paid on the whole but
that which is now out is of course entirely worthless. The
concern is closed up.”

Bank was repealed. Receivers were appointed but found

This bank was organized on April 30, 1832, with a capital of
$50,000. John Wilkins was the first president and Theodore
S. Dodd was the first cashier.
In 1835 a difficulty occurred at this time between Mr.
Rufus Dwinel and the Kenduskeag Bank. Mr. Dwinel was
an enterprising merchant of remarkable temper and will.
Because of a want of accommodation from the bank he
made a war upon it and undertook to break it. It was thought
that the war was neither a benefit to the bank, the public,
nor Mr. Dwinel. He declared that the public had decided
that the bank was the aggressor. He demanded an apology
from the directors, nothing more; admitted that the public
had sustained an injury from the war, and said he should
persist in his course unless the apology was made. In 1864
the directors of this bank voted to dissolve and subsequently
formed the Kenduskeag National Bank.

emblems of education and agriculture next to standing
Indian brave holding rifle. Bottom center, dog guarding
strong box.
Judging from the availability of this and related varieties
in the marketplace today, large quantities must have been
issued. For bills of lower denominations most merchants
usually accepted them at face value and then passed them
along to others. This explains why counterfeit, spurious,
and other non-valid notes circulated so extensively for long
periods of time.
Dave Bowers writes: “We have been unable to find any
substantive information about this company, which was
based in New York and floated essentially worthless bills in
Maine.”

24 of the same year. On January 23, 1833, the bank moved
to No. 6 Phoenix Row. In 1837 a legislative act requested

with bucket. Right end, sailing ship.
The Agricultural Bank was chartered on April 1, 1836, in
a year of optimism which saw 20 new banks authorized in
the state. Insufficient capital, poor banking practice, and the
Hard Times era combined to create this banks downfall— all
ingredients that caused numismatic availability of its paper
money in a later era. As the unredeemed notes became
worthless, they obviously could not be spent. In 1844 the
Bank Commission reported:
“This bank is in the hands of receivers; a large portion of
its circulation has been redeemed in payment of the loan; a
portion of the remainder is expected to be provided for in
the same way. The bills of the bank netted to those indebted
to the bank, par of course; to others from 25% to 50%. Very
little will probably be saved for the stockholders.”
Some notes were saved in the hope that they might
someday have value in commerce. Today the notes are
scarce but collectible. Even circulation with a hole repair.

The archives of the American Bank Note Co., auctioned
through Christies in 1989 and 1990, yielded over 20 uncut
proof sheets of Bucksport notes, some with red security tint
and some without. Today, most collectors in possession of
Bucksport notes have proofs from this cache. The beautiful
vignettes make such notes wonderful display items. Of
course, in terms of federal coin prices. Mint State examples of
an issue with just 27 known would sell for tens of thousands
of dollars. Perhaps this reflects that there is a lot of hidden
value in obsolete notes. There is a tear at cancelation.

This bank was one of 20 chartered in Maine in 1836,

No matter, by 1848 the Bank Commission reported that it

of $50,000, the smallest amount of any bank in the Maine
District up to that time. On April 8, 1826, there was a
“run” on the bank when holders of paper money rushed
to exchange it for coins or for good notes of other banks.
They were turned away as there was no cash on hand. In
the meantime the bank dishonored two drafts for about
$11,000 sent to its redemption agent in Boston, as it had no
way to pay The charter of the bank was revoked in 1827.

$50,000. All of the banks stock was replaced by paper within
a month. By 1838 uncollected loans were on hand for more
than 50% of the stock issued, and there was no immediate
prospect of collecting them. On March 29, 1841, the state

This bank was chartered by the Legislature in 1836, with
an authorized capital of $50,000. The grant was not followed
through by the incorporators, and the bank never went into
business. This spelled an opportunity for fraudsters who had
the New England Bank Note Co. prepare large quantities of
bills with the banks name. Some were signed by Ira J. Eenton
as cashier and W. Appleton as president. An article in the

The Hallowell & Augusta Bank was one of the most prolific
issuers of currency in the Maine district. This particular
institution, unlike most others in the Maine District, was
still in business when statehood was achieved. Accordingly,
notes exist with both Massachusetts imprints (as here) and
Maine imprints. It fell upon hard times in the mid 1820s,
failed, and had the dubious distinction of being placed on
the “List of Broken Banks” in the July 31, 1830 inaugural
issue of Bicknells Counterfeit Detector. Some minor tears
are noted for accuracy.

(ME-365 G16). Patent Stereotype Steel Plate.
The Kennebec Bank was established in 1812 and was
in reality a Hallowell bank, under Hallowell management.
Prior to 1816, however, it had a legal address in Augusta.
The banking rules followed at the time, didn’t allow for
small towns like Hallowell to have more than one bank, and
there was already one that had been chartered for the town,
namely the Hallowell & Augusta Bank that had commenced
business in 1804. Nevertheless, in 1816, the Kennebec Bank
received formal authorization to change its address from
Augusta to Hallowell.

Fine. (ME-410 G4). New England Bank Note Co. / Patent
Stereotype Steel Plate. Top. Ceres seated with emblems of
industry and agriculture. Left end, milkmaid and bucket.
Right end, sailing ship. The Bank of Old Town was chartered
April 1, 1836. The capital was set as $50,000. Gold and silver
coins amounting to $25,000 were borrowed or otherwise
acquired, after which the bank became operational. These
coins were removed immediately and were replaced by lOUs
from the eight stockholders — a small group in comparison
to other banks. The first loans were made by the bank on
August 8, 1836. For the rest of this year and through 1837,
nearly all loans were made to directors, stockholders, and
their friends, with little in the way of examination regarding
the soundness of the borrowers or the notes and securities
pledged. Accordingly, the bank had very little real operating
capital and limped along. Matters were made worse by the
Panic of 1837, which became widespread in May of that year.
Gold and silver coins disappeared entirely from circulation,
and small denomination bills were issued out of necessity
The situation was critical, and the stockholders reacted by
trying to dispose of their shares. Sales were made to various
buyers without disclosing the critical nature of the bank’s
finances. Early in 1840 its bills had no sale in Boston and it
was classified as a broken bank.
The foregoing reminds us to say that each of these notes
has its own story — sometimes improbable, sometimes
logical, but always fascinating. Today with Internet searches
it is possible to learn more than researchers could a
generation ago.

This back was incorporated on March 21, 1835, with
an authorized capital of $50,000. Prom Niles’ National
Register, November 6, 1841: “The Stillwater Canal Bank
at Orono. We learn from the Newburyport Herald that
an injunction has been placed on the bank. The report of
the bank commissioners of Maine says that this bank has
been in the hands of New York speculators, introduced by
Mr. Cyrus Moore. The bills are nearly all in circulation in
distant states. The amount of the circulation is $25,829. The
resources consist — first, of $10,816 past due, and of little
value, principally in executions, and $38,354 due from the
New York speculators, of which $15,857 was given for stock,
and $22,496 bills paid out. There is a deposit of $6,500 in the
Washington Bank, New York, to redeem the circulation, but
which is supposed to be exhausted. The bank also owned a
dwelling house, but this has been destroyed by fire, and the
real estate is now worth little or nothing. The value of its
bills, of course, depends upon what may be obtained of the
New York speculators.”

was chartered by the state of Georgia and formally recognized
by the state of ]\4aine on December 17, 1834. It was granted
banking privileges by the state of Georgia in 1838, after
which currency was issued by the company’s office in
Portland, Maine. The capital was increased to $200,000, and
shares were sold in the eastern exchanges, including New
York City and Boston. All seemed to go well until the Panic
of 1837, which chilled the market for lumber. Despite the
financial crisis, the bank’s paper money was widely traded
in Maine and elsewhere from 1838 onward. On October 31,
1838, the notes were traded at a 10% discount on financial
markets. In 1841 they were at a 50% discount, and afterward
they were generally viewed as worthless.

fraudulent, failed for some other reasons. Investigating such

The Ship Builders Bank was established in 1853 with

autumn 1854 it had $100,000 capital. However, the banks
existence was brief as the examiners found that the books
had been falsified through the dishonesty of the cashier, and
the bank was suspended. A criminal indictment was found
by the grand jury in the county. The creditors of the bank
recovered practically nothing, and the bank failed in 1855.

On April 9, 1857, the name of the Mousam River Bank
was changed to the Sanford Bank. In November 1859,
it reported that just $1,758 in notes were in circulation.
The financial stability of the “new” bank was viewed as
uncertain, and an injunction was issued against it. The
bank endeavored to rebuild. Stockholders paid in $37,000
of additional capital, and the injunction was lifted. On
January 1, 1860, the bank resumed business with a generous
supply of currency printed by the American Bank Note
Co. from old Toppan, Carpenter, Casilear & Co. plates.
Soon, these colorful bills were commonly circulated in the
southeastern part of Maine. However, troubles continued,
and in early May 1861, the Suflblk Bank clearing house in
Boston discontinued the bank’s membership and stopped
redeeming its bills. The Bank of Mutual Redemption in
Boston did likewise. The bank was investigated, and on May
17, 1861, it was closed under an injunction. The Maine bank
commissioners rushed to examine the books and placed
the bank into receivership. Today the notes of this bank are
readily collectible and are enthusiastically sought.

The Bank of Westbrook was chartered on April 1,
1836, one of 20 new banks that year. The capital was set at
$50,000. The directors of the Westbrook Bank did not play
by the rules, and the doors were opened before the required
amount of capital was paid in. Moreover, most of the gold
and silver coins that were paid in were quickly taken out in
loans to directors, who substituted promissory notes, giving
“paper capital” to the institution. The bank continued to
operate, but had problems. The charter of the bank expired
on October 1, 1847, and the directors elected not to renew
it. Small tear repairs on margins and internally.

Industry and Plenty. Panel ends. Base, Corinth State. Fairly
certain this is false and not listed. Too crude at the right

Terms & Conditions
1. Auction Basics. This is a public auction sale (“Auction Sale”) conducted by bonded
auctioneers, Stacks Bowers Galleries or Stacks Bowers and Ponterio (hereinafter re-
ferred to as “Auctioneer” and at times as “Stacks Bowers”). Bidding in this Auction
Sale constitutes acceptance by you (“Bidder”) of all the Terms of Sale stated herein.
Bidders may include consignors who may bid and purchase lots in the Auction Sale
consigned by the consignor or by other consignors pursuant to their consignment
agreement with Stacks Bowers (“Consignor” or “Consignors”). A Consignor that bids
on their own lots in the Auction Sale may pay a different fee than the Buyers Pre-
mium charged to all other Buyers. Stacks Bowers reserves the right to include in any
auction sale its own material as well as material from affiliated or related companies,
principals, officers or employees. Stacks Bowers may have direct or indirect interests
in any of the lots in the auction and may collect commissions. THE TWO PRECEED-
ING SENTENCES SHALL BE DEEMED A PART OP THE DESCRIPTION OP ALL
LOTS CONTAINED IN THE CATALOG. Where the Consignor has repurchased a lot
and the lot is either returned to the Consignor or otherwise dealt with or disposed
of in accordance with the Consignors direction, or pursuant to contractual agree-
ment, Stacks Bowers reserves the right to so note in the prices realized or to omit a
price from the prices realized. Stacks Bowers and its affiliates may bid for their own
account at any auction. Stacks Bowers and its affiliates may have information about
any lot that is not known publicly, and Stacks Bowers and its affiliates reserves the
right to use such information, in a manner determined solely by them and for their
benefit, without disclosing such information in the catalog, catalog description or at
the auction. Bidder acknowledges and agrees that Stacks Bowers and its affiliates are
not required to pay a Buyer s Premium, or other charges that other Bidders may be re-
quired to pay and may have access to information concerning the lots that is not oth-
erwise available to the public. Any claimed conflict of interest or claimed competitive
advantage resulting therefrom is expressly waived by all participants in the Auction
Sale. Lots may carry a reserve (“Reserve”). A Reserve is a price or bid below which the
Auctioneer will not sell an item or will repurchase on behalf of the Consignor or for
Stacks Bowers. Reserves may be confidential and not disclosed. The Buyer is the Bid-
der who makes the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer, and includes the principal
of any Bidder acting as an agent.
2. Descriptions and Grading. Bidder acknowledges that grading of most coins and
currency in this Auction has been determined by independent grading services, and
those that are not may be graded by Stacks Bowers. Grading of rare coins and cur-
rency is subjective and, even though grading has a material effect on the value of the
coins and currency, grading may differ among independent grading services and
among numismatists. Stacks Bowers is not responsible for the grades assigned by
independent grading services, and makes no warranty or representation regarding
such grades. Bidder further acknowledges and agrees that grades assigned by Stacks
Bowers and lot descriptions are based solely upon an examination of the coins and
currency and are intended to identify coins and currency and note any perceived
characteristics. However, coin grading and descriptions are subjective. Stacks Bowers
does not warrant the accuracy of such grading or descriptions, nor do they in any way
form the basis for any bid. All photographs in this catalog are of the actual items being
sold but may not be the actual size or to scale.
3. The Bidding Process. The Auctioneer shall have the right to open or accept the
bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the Consignor or his or her agent;
a Bidder by mail, telephone, Internet or telefax; or any other participant in the Auc-
tion Sale. Bids must be for an entire lot and each lot constitutes a separate sale. All
bids (excluding Internet bids) must be in increment as established by the Auctioneer,
or half increment (a cut bid). Non-conforming bids will be rounded up or down to
the nearest full or half increment and this rounded bid will be the bidders high bid.
No lot will be broken up unless otherwise permitted by the Auctioneer. Lots will be
sold in their numbered sequence unless Auctioneer directs otherwise. All material
shall be sold in separate lots to the highest Bidder as determined by the Auctioneer.
Auctioneer shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to accept or de-
cline any bid, establish bid increments, challenge any bid or bidding increment, to
reduce any mail bid received, adjudicate all bidding disputes, to exclude any bidder
and to determine the prevailing bid. The Auctioneer shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to rescind the acceptance of any bid and place the lot(s) for Auction Sale
again. Auctioneer s decision on all bidding disputes shall be binding and final. Eor the
mail and Internet Bidders protection, no “unlimited” or “buy” bids will be accepted.
When identical bids are received for a lot, preference is given to the first bid received
as determined by the Auctioneer. A mail bid will take precedence over an identical
floor bid; a Eloor Bidder, Telephone Bidder and Live Internet Bidder must bid higher
than the highest mail bid to be awarded any lot. Cut bids are only accepted on bids
greater than $500 and each bidder may only execute one cut bid per lot. Bids will not
be accepted from persons under eighteen (18) years of age without a parents written
consent which acknowledges the Terms of Sale herein and agrees to be bound thereby
on behalf of the underage Bidder. The auction sale is complete when the Auctioneer
so announces by the fall of the hammer or in any other customary manner.
THIS IS NOT AN APPROVAL SALE. Bidders who physically attend the Auction sale,
either personally or through an agent (“Eloor Bidders”) should carefully examine all
lots which they are interested in purchasing. Bidders who bid by telephone, either
personally or through an agent, or through our live auction software receive a similar
benefit as Eloor Bidders in being able to actively participate in the live Auction Sale
(“Telephone Bidders” and “Live Internet Bidders”). Except as otherwise expressly
provided in these Terms of Sale, NO PURCHASED ITEMS MAY BE RETURNED EOR
ANY REASON. All prospective Bidders who examine the lot(s) prior to the Auction
Sale personally assume all responsibility for any damage that Bidder causes to the
lot(s). Stacks Bowers shall have sole discretion in determining the value of the dam-
age caused, which shall be promptly paid by such Bidder.
Certain auctions (iAuctions), will be conducted exclusively over the Internet, and bids
will be accepted only from pre-registered Bidders.
STACK’S BOWERS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE EOR ANY ERRORS IN BIDDING. All Bid-
ders should make certain to bid on the correct lot and that the bid is the bid intended.
Once the hammer has fallen and the Auctioneer has announced the Buyer, the Buyer
is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot, even if the Buyer made a mistake. Stack’s
Bowers reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time, even after the hammer has
fallen, until the Buyer has taken physical possession of the lot. No participant in the
Auction Sale shall have a right to claim any damages, including consequential dam-
ages if a lot is withdrawn, even if the withdrawal occurs after the Auction Sale.
4. Bidder Registration Required. All persons seeking to bid must complete and sign
a registration card either at the auction or online, or otherwise qualifying to bid, as
determined in the sole discretion of the Auctioneer. By submitting a bid, the Bidder
acknowledges that Bidder has read the Terms and Conditions of Auction Sale, the
descriptions for the lot(s) on which they have bid, and that they agree to be bound by
these Terms of Sale. This agreement shall be deemed to have been made and entered
in California. The Bidder acknowledges that the invoice describing a lot by number
incorporates the catalog and Terms of Sale. Person appearing on the OEAC list are
not eligible to bid.
5. Buyer’s Premiums. A premium of seventeen and one-half percent (17 1/2%) based
upon the total amount of the hammer (minimum of $15), will be added to all pur-
chases of individual lots, regardless of affiliation with any group or organization (the
“Buyer’s Premium”). A reacquisition charge may apply to Consignors pursuant to a
separate agreement, which may be higher or lower than the Buyer’s Premium.

due, or found to be due to Stack’s Bowers, and to make such offset from any past,
current, or future consignment, or purchases that are in the possession or control

shipment, it is Buyer’s responsibility to keep track of the Outside Claim Date and

being of the essence, shall constitute a waiver of any such claim. Orders paid by credit
card will only be shipped to the verified address on file with the credit card merchant.

antee or represent that any customer buying for investment purposes will be able to
sell for a profit in the future.
j. Bidder acknowledges and agrees that neither Stacks Bowers, nor its employees,
affiliates, agents, third-party providers or consignors warrant that auctions will be
unimpaired, uninterrupted or error free and accordingly shall not be liable for such
events.
11. Waiver and Release. Bidder, for himself, his heirs, agents, successors and as-
signees, generally and specifically waives and releases, and forever discharges Stacks
Bowers, and its respective affiliates, parents, officers, directors, shareholders, agents,
subsidiaries, employees, managers and members and each of them, and their respec-
tive successors and assignees from any and all claims, rights, demands and causes
of actions and suits, of whatever kind or nature, including but not limited to claims
based upon Auctioneers negligence, whether in law or equity, tort or otherwise,
whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected (a “Claim”), which Bidder
may assert with respect to and/or arising out of, or in connection with any challenge
to the title to or authenticity of any goods purchased, the sale itself, any lot bid upon
or consigned, and/or the auction, except where such Claim is otherwise expressly
authorized in these Terms of Sale. It is the intention of Bidder that this waiver and
release shall be effective as a bar to each and every Claim that may arise hereunder or
be related to the Auction Sale, and Bidder hereby knowingly and voluntarily waives
any and all rights and benefits otherwise conferred upon him by the provisions of
Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads in full as follows:
“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDI-
TOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER EAVOR AT THE
TIME OE EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IE KNOWN BY HIM OR HER
MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AEEECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE
DEBTOR.”
12. Disputes. If a dispute arises concerning ownership of a lot or concerning pro-
ceeds of any sale. Stacks Bowers reserves the right to commence a statutory inter-
pleader proceeding at the expense of the Consignor and Buyer and any other appli-
cable party, and in such event shall be entitled to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and
costs. Stack’s Bowers reserves the right to cancel or postpone the Auction Sale or any
session thereof for any reason whatsoever. No Bidder shall have any claim as a result
thereof, including for incidental or consequential damages. Neither Stack’s Bowers
nor any affiliated or related company shall be responsible for incidental or consequen-
tial damages arising out of any failure of the Terms of Sale, the auction or the conduct
thereof and in no event shall such liability exceed the purchase price, premium, or
fees paid. Rights granted to Bidders under the within Terms and Conditions of Auc-
tion Sale are personal and apply only to the Bidder who initially purchases the lot(s)
from Stack’s Bowers. The rights may not be assigned or transferred to any other per-
son or entity, whether by sale of the lot(s), operation of law or otherwise. Any attempt
to assign or transfer any such rights shall be absolutely void and unenforceable. No
third party may rely on any benefit or right conferred by these Terms and Conditions
of Auction Sale.
Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms of Sale, the Auction Sale or any lot,
with the sole exception of actions by Stack’s Bowers to collect amounts owed to it and
other damages, shall be submitted to binding arbitration pursuant to the commer-
cial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, with any arbitration
hearing to occur in Orange County, California. Absent an agreement of the parties,
the arbitrator shall limit discovery to that which is necessary to enable the hearing
to proceed efficiently. The arbitrator shall not have the power to award punitive or
consequential damages, nor alter, amend modify any of the terms of this Agreement.
The award by the arbitrator, if any, may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof. Each party shall pay one-half the costs of the arbitration. Bidder acknowledg-
es and agrees that the competent courts of the State of California shall have exclusive
in personam jurisdiction, subject to the requirement to arbitrate, over any dispute(s)
arising hereunder, regardless of any party’s current or future residence or domicile.
Bidder further agrees that venue of the arbitration proceeding shall be in Orange
County, California; and any court proceeding shall be in the Orange County Superior
Court, in the State of California, and in each case waive any claim of Eorum Non Con-
veniens. Bidder agrees that any arbitration or legal action with respect to this Auction
Sale is barred unless commenced within one (1) year of the date of this Auction Sale.
AUCTION PARTICIPANTS EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
13. General Terms. These Terms and Conditions of Auction Sale and the auction
shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of
the State of California, regardless of the location of the Auction Sale. These Terms of
Sale and the information on the Stack’s Bowers’ website constitute the entire agree-
ment between the parties hereto on the subject matter hereof and supersede all other
agreements, understandings, warranties and representations concerning the subject
matter hereof. If any section of these Terms of Auction Sale or any term or provision
of any section is held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable by any court of competent
jurisdiction, the remaining sections or terms and provisions of a section shall con-
tinue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way. Stack’s
Bowers may at its sole and absolute discretion, make loans or advances to Consignors
and/or Bidders.
14. Special Services. If you wish to limit your total expenditures, please fill in the
maximum amount you wish to spend on the MAXIMUM EXPENDITURE line at
the upper portion of your bid sheet. You can then submit bids for amounts up to
eight times the amount of the maximum expenditure. This is a personal service and
a Stack’s Bowers customer representative will personally attend to your bid sheet by
bidding from the auction floor, buying lots for your account until your authorized
expenditure is reached. While we will do our best in your behalf, due to the speed of
the auction sale and the sometimes crowded conditions, we cannot be responsible for
failure to execute such a bid properly. Due to the bookkeeping involved, this service is
offered only to bidders with maximum expenditures of $1,000 or more.
We invite you to take advantage of the optional 10% to 30% increase to help your
chance of being a successful bidder. Check the appropriate place on your bid sheet.
Bidding in this auction sale constitutes unconditional acceptance by the Bidder of the
foregoing terms of sale.
Please note: Transparent holders in which the auction lots are stored are to facilitate
viewing and inspection of the lots and ARE NOT for long-term storage.

ized will also be posted on the Internet soon after the session closes.
